Emilio Prini's Typewriter Drawings on View at Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare
The Fondazione Antonio Dalle Nogare in Bolzano is showcasing 'Emilio Prini – Typewriter Drawings. Bologna/München/Roma – 1970/1971', an exhibition that delves into the lesser-known works of Arte Povera artist Emilio Prini. Curated by Luca Lo Pinto, Andrea Viliani, and Timotea Prini, this display focuses on Prini's creations from 1970 to 1975, associated with three significant exhibitions: 'Gennaio ’70' in Bologna (1970), 'Arte Povera – 13 Italian Artists' in Munich (1971), and 'Merce Tipo Standard' in Rome (1971). Prini, born in Stresa in 1943 and who passed away in Rome in 2016, started experimenting with technology around 1969, producing nearly 200 typewriter drawings. The exhibition also features related drawings and mostly unpublished photographs by Claudio Abate.
